For Emilya (and my mental well being)
BRANDEIS
cost (One Year, On-Campus)= $40,428 - $12,000 = $28,428
small (3000ish undergrads)
+very reputable school
-very jewish
+/- DIII program, no direct scholarship $ available, but would allow me to do other things besides just track.
+ the other schools in their competing league are all over the country from California to Chicago to New York. Which means traveling.
+ Coach Evans coaches his wife who competes nationally for Ireland and runs extremely fast. Which means that he knows what he's doing.
+ And he's just really nice. And seems to actually want me there.
+ I'd be training with a girl that I've run against (with pretty much the same times) for the past few years so I know we'd be able to push each other
+ I wouldn't be the fastest one on the team but I wouldn't be the slowest either.
+ right next to train/hourly shuttle into Boston
+/- pretty close to home
+/- not a very big party school
+ pretty good/open theatre/music stuff
UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT
cost (One Year, On-Campus)= $31,714 - $3,000 = 28714
medium (8000ish undergrads)
+ really, really pretty
+/- big party school
+ everyone seems really nice
- - COLLLDDD!!! Like colder-than-Boston cold
+/- 3 ½ hrs away...
+/- really big team..all seemed really nice. But I might get frustrated and then lost and blah
- i think I'd get reeeealllly distracted...
+ emilya's there! :)
+ from what I hear, theatre program is good
- track practice at 7AM every morning.
NORTHEASTERN
well first off, I'm waitlisted...but hypothetically speaking if I got in...
cost (One Year, On-Campus)= $37,830 (financial aid?)
big (14000ish undergrads)
+++ In Boston
+ 5yr program (with direct internships)
+/- great journalism school..but do I really want to go into journalism?
+ has pretty much every major I would ever consider. Ever.
+ so much to do in the city
- the coach never replied to my emails...and the UML coach called me and told me that the Northeastern coach had recommended me to him..and that Northeastern wouldn't recruit me solely because they only wanted kids from cities. And that's weird.
+/- Big team, really good. Might get lost/distracted
ITHACA
cost (One Year, On-Campus)= $36,830 (financial aid?)
medium (6000ish)
+ really pretty campus
- kinda in the middle of nowhere
- cold (WHY DIDN'T I APPLY SOMEWHERE WARM?!)
+ awesome English/journalism/broadcast/theatre programs
+ really cool program with internships in California for a semester..
+/- DIII school
- team isn't really that good...
+ Coach is really nice
College hurts my head. A lot. And I love how FASFA seems to think I can afford $30,000 a year. No, I'm sorry, I cannot. And this deciison-ness is making me sick. Literally. And I don't think I am spelling decision right but yeah. I will probably add to this later. As in tomorrow. After I sleep. If I can sleep. Smeh.
